Eyewitness Travel Guides

by Roger Williams

Provence is a magical place - a unique combination of ultra-fashionable beach resorts, charming hilltop villages, ancient monasteries and Roman sites, and justly famous vineyards. This award-winning "Eyewitness Travel Guide" will help you get the most out of your visit, with its detailed maps, museum floor-plans, aerial views and sumptuous photography. From the places to see and be seen to the loveliest villas and gardens, superb wines and best shopping - this guide features the insider knowledge that every visitor needs. An illustrated food section introduces the flavours of Provence with local produce and dishes whilst sights, beaches, markets and festivals are listed town by town. You'll find expert advice on restaurants and hotels, and scenic routes and themed tours make the "Eyewitness Travel Guide" completely indispensable.

Good travel companion—should get it.

no new stuff

[Catherine Woodman]

I took this out of the library to prepare for going back to this part of France--I know what I did not feel that I had enough time for last time around, but wanted to look for some things that we might have skipped over because they were less interesting for the kids. I think these Eyewitness books are perfect for getting a sense of what the place looks like, and seeing where you might like to go--they offer very little in terms of practical on the ground advice--like where to stay and where to eat.

Take the train. Visit the small beautiful cities.

Useful guide in planning my time in the Luberon - left it at my host's for other English reading visitors.

[Michel · Rating 4 out of 5]

The perfect guide to read/browse/skim before you go: photographs, maps, illustrations, all you need to dream.
How useful once you get there, I can't tell yet: I'll revisit my rating.
